Adventures of Hermana Martines

this week has been a crazy week! Its the first week of the transfer so once again all the sisters came for conferences or tramites or they went home or they came to train. So yeah a little busy. But i love being able to get to know all the hermanas aqui! the only thing a little hard this week was that my knees are still kinda bad. And we have to stop and rest more from walking, unfortunately i cant do the whole study thing here in the mision so i will have to wait to get home. we are working a lot with the recent converts here and its been so fun to see them grow and love the gospel. It really is like a great fire to see their testimonies grow for me, im so grateful. The leader misional is helping a lot and with the activity in 2 weeks, the whole ward is super excited to invite their friends! We did a Family home Evening with one of the recent converts familes, and it was so awesome!  We got to do the vise of my companion so she can go so Barcelona Spain for her mision finally!!! it wa...

I also had to go to the doctor again for my knees so they would give me another medicine. We also had to go to the dinner for the newbies missionaries that came this week, and the 1st training meeting! it was so funny because the asistentes invited us on short notice for the dinner and the training meeting, and we were like..uh but we already have been in training for a month now! hah but we went anyways. I felt like a newbie being with all them again haha! crazy that next month i will have been here in argentina for a year! A lot of people have rejected us this week as we talked to them, and i dont think i felt physically more exhausted ...

Fa, hna Saad, (mi hija, daughter) is so strong and great from all the things that have happened with her the last week...she has handled her trials so mature and taught me so much about having faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ.  We had intercambios, exchanges again a lot this week.. and we learned so much from the other sisters! It literally so fun every time to see how they teach and work! We have found some really great new people to teach but we are still trying to work on finding more people. Something crazy here is that the weather also has been super super hot, and then one day after its super cold! Also, we got to learn how to make a special cake from here in Argentina haha which was a plus from my compañera. Also we f...

I didnt know how many things the Lord had prepared for me! but so last week on monday they told us we are going to recieve a new sister, so we are in a trio! and we are TRAINING HER! its so crazy , she is from here in this mision in San Juan where i was in my last area! but she went to the MTC and is going to spain in her mision, Barcelona"! but has to wait for her visa.

hola todos, So this last week was crazy because we had transfers early, and both me an my companion left our area!! So they are washing it sadly :( we had 3 baptisms and a wedding coming up, so that was sad but the mision presidente told us that we coul return for the baptism of the couple getting married!! but the sister going to my area is going to wash it an train her comp there!! my new companion is Hna Marceliano, from Trujillo Peru! (Where my cousin served, shout out to abby haha) an she is just so cute!! she is also ending her mision now, so Im killing her, killing another comp haha!! I am back in mendoza, but in the area of the mission offices! Soo that means we are the apartment that has to have the sisters come when they come for legal stuff or if they are going to train. An the apartment is BEAUTIFUL!!! its brand new, haha i feel like a queen haha because its even nicer than something from the usa!  the area is calle Godoy Cruz, and the ward is super great!! I love it here, ...
